Indonesia's Bali hit by magnitude 6 earthquake

A magnitude 6.0 earthquake has struck off the Indonesian island of Bali, the US Geological Survey says, causing brief panic among residents though there was no potential for a tsunami and no immediate reports of major damage.

The annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank are being held this week in Bali and attended by more than 19,000 delegates and other guests, including ministers and some leaders.
